Happy Birthday Fama!

D. Norval & Mary (Bailey) Stoops family in 1961

Fama is on the upper right.

I knew no other family in the world would be better

because no other had a big sister as wonderful as mine.

Fama is in the front row to the right of center

She couldn't believe I'd ask her to be my bridesmaid,
but she agreed to do it.

Thanks Fame!

Bill & Fama
Kevin, Brian, Tim

It is rare to get seven grown children together now

since they have families of their own.
